This auction is for my 1973 Corvette. It still has the original 454 engine. I bought the car from the original owner a few years ago. He told me he bought it when he came home from Vietnam. I don't know enough about corvettes to know if it is a "survivor " but to me it is. It is unrestored. It came out of his barn. I had to replace the tank meter in order to get it running(it was clogged up). I did some of the normal/ typical things one does to a car that had been sitting such as,: replaced the brake calipers, brake master cylinder, exhaust system(original style), had a new front bumper cover installed, re-chromed the rear bumpers. I also had to do a little work to the front head lights as the were stuck open. I installed new springs and new vacuum relays and that took care of that.The license plate bezzle is new old stock. I had some work done to the tack drive distributor. Mr. Lars Grimsrud rebuild the carb. (he's one of the best) I had a friend of mine that is a professional mechanic do some of the bigger jobs. He installed a new clutch and flywheel ring gear. He also installed a new cam, lifters, bigger valve springs and pushrods, harmonic balancer,etc. Two years ago he was supposed to pull the engine and rebuild it and he still has not. This is why I am selling the car. The plan was to put a new rotating assembly in the engine. Including dome pistons to increase the horse power.( I believe the engine is ready to be overhauled so it made sense to me to do a custom build on the original engine, so the mechanic talks me into this and then is to busy to do the job ugh)) The car has been sitting for two years now. I did drive it around the block once last year, that was the last time it was even started. I really don't like seeing it sit and would like to pass it on to someone with the time and money to restore this car. It's a valuable car. Many experts say this year convertible big block is a great investment. See www corvetteblogger dot com/2011/06/03/c3-corvette-makes-hagertys-top-5-attainable-dream-cars The NADA value is very high on these cars. I insured it for much more than my asking price. I just am looking to get my money back so please do not email with low offers or trades. I did find some interesting facts once I bought the car,:Only 4,943 convertibles made in 1973. Only a handful of 454s. only 1,328 Auxiliary hard tops(the cloth top needs to be replaced) This was no biggy to me as it is kept in the garage. the 454 is referred to as LS4, only 3,704 4 spds in 1973, it has tilt-tele, map light, manual steering witch is rare, most had PS. I am selling this car as is, where is, with no warranty implied or expressed. All sales are final. I will not take the car back so please ask questions before you bid. I normally leave something out so feel free to ask questions before you bid. Another interesting thing is the numbers on the engine block indicate that it is California emissions, but the car car sold new in NJ., Buyer is responsible for the removal of the car, I will not relaes the car until it is paid for. Please plan on transporting the car with in a week or two of the sale unless other arrangements have been made. Thank you for looking.

2021 BMW M3 and M4 vs all the high-powered sport sedans and coupes

Wed, Sep 23 2020

Should you have a found a way to get past that schnoz, you've probably digested some of the basic specs for the all-new 2021 BMW M3 sedan and M4 coupe specs. They're plenty impressive. There's also, basically, two sets of them thanks to the regular and Competition versions that differ in engine output and transmission type.Â But how do they compare to other ultra sport sedans and coupes? Well, we were wondering that too, so we fired up the Autoblog Comparison Spreadsheet Generator 5000 (aka me chained to my computer in a dark basement).Â Sadly, there are surprisingly few competitors for the 2021 BMW M3. Rival sedans include the Mercedes-AMG C 63 and the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, along with the Audi RS 5 Sportback sedan/coupe/hatchback thing. There's no more Lexus IS F, the Cadillac CT4 Blackwing has yet to arrive and Jaguar doesn't offer a spicy XE R.Â Happily, there are more coupe rivals for the 2021 BMW M4, including the two-door versions of the AMG and Audi as well as the Lexus RC F. I also included the Ford Shelby GT350 and Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE. On paper, they align incredibly well. On the street and on a track, I can personally attest that these Americans are fully capable of keeping up and/or bettering the fancy-pants luxury brands (and let's not forget there are even more powerful, hardcore versions available). If they don't align in terms of price or prestige, whatever. OK, let's get to the spreadsheet. Let's start with the coupes and note that I didn't bother listing the dimensions for the M4 Competition and C 63 S as they are identical to their "lesser" siblings.Â I won't bother burning words explaining what you can see on the chart. Instead, I'll point out a few things that stood out to me. First, BMW M comes awfully close to matching the output of AMG's twin-turbo V8 despite having two fewer cylinders. Similarly, Audi manages to better the 0-60 time of the M4 Competition and tie the C 63 S despite being WAY down on power. It's not like it weighs less. Magic? Second, and speaking of 0-60 times, remember the importance that transmission and drivetrain make with them. It's not just horsepower and torque. An automatic will be quicker and easier to launch than a manual, while all-wheel drive provides more instantaneous and beneficial grip.

Forza Motorsport 6's new drivable Hot Wheels cars are the best

Tue, May 3 2016

Each month, Turn 10 Studios releases a new car pack for the latest installment of its Forza Motorsport video game. Sometimes that means less-than-exciting stuff coming to our Xbox Ones – BMW X6M, bleh Â– but this time our inner seven-year-old is beyond ecstatic. Two of the seven cars are based on actual Hot Wheels models. And. They're. Awesome. First we have the 2011 Hot Wheels Bone Shaker. Yes, there are flames on the side. And yes, there's a giant skull where the grille should be. This one came from the imagination of "Mr. Hot Wheels" Larry Wood, whose design was so popular it inspired an actual real-world creation. Like all good things in this world, it's powered by a small-block Chevy V8. Oh, and it has no roof. This will be a popular one among gamers. The other digitized Hot Wheels creation is a 2005 Ford Mustang. A modest vehicle, sure, but the toy designers have festooned this pony car with a wild paint scheme and the body mods to emphasize it. Originally developed to celebrate the 'Stang's 50th birthday, this Hot Wheels car trades Americana for wild Japanese style. There's just one functioning life-size version of this car in existence as well, but if you look hard, you might be able to find one of the 1:64 scale models that inspired it. Other highlights from this month's car pack include the latest Ford Focus RS Â– finally time to replace that NASCAR-V8-powered, all-wheel-drive 2009 Focus RS Â– the 2015 McLaren P1 GTR, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the aforementioned X6M, and Alain Prost's 1990 Ferrari 641 F1 car. The Hot Wheels Car Pack is available for download today.

GM CEO Barra says 'we are selling every truck we can build'

Tue, Jun 14 2022

DETROIT — General Motors Chief Executive Mary Barra said on Monday the automaker is "selling every truck we can build" and expanding North American truck-building capacity, even as U.S. gasoline prices hit record highs. Barra made her comments during the automaker's annual shareholder meeting. GM is pursuing a two-track strategy: Investing heavily in electric vehicles for North America, China and other markets, and funding those investments by trying to maximize profits from its North American combustion pickup truck and large SUV lineups. Barra said GM is planning higher-priced versions of its Silverado large pickup and its large SUV models. GM and its Detroit rivals Ford Motor Co and Stellantis NV rely heavily on sales of large pickup trucks and SUVs for global profits. High U.S. gasoline prices in the past have undermined consumer demand for relatively inefficient models. Nominal pump prices hit an average of above $5 a gallon for the first time ever last week, the federal government said Friday. GM is ramping up production of EVs. Barra said the Cadillac Lyriq electric sport utility is sold out through 2023. In response to shareholder questions, Barra said the "clear priority" for using cash generated by its operations is to "accelerate our EV plans." She did not rule out share buybacks or other approaches to returning cash to shareholders. GM still expects to increase production this year by 25-30%, despite continuing pressure on semiconductor supplies globally. Barra said GM is working to redesign vehicles to reduce the number of processors required by 95%. Barra serves as GM's board chair and CEO. GM shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to separate those roles.
